Indeed. So is there anything you'd recommend for backing up Windows?
Particularly on the Mac? I'm curious. Its such a huge drag having to
reinstall anything on Windows. I'd hate to run out of my Jaws authorizations
etc, not to mention losing important files. I know Acronus comes with some
computers, but its unfortunately totally inaccessible. Just wondering.
